Lead Anyway: 10 Rules for Leading When You Break the Mold

By Laurence Paquette

In a corporate world still shaped by outdated ideals of charisma and conformity, Lead Anyway offers a new model for leadership from the margins. Drawing on her experience as a senior executive, neurodivergent professional, and global keynote speaker, Laurence Paquette delivers ten clear rules for leading without pretending to be someone you're not.

Combining personal narrative, leadership research, and practical tools, the book challenges performative leadership and replaces it with a more honest, sustainable approach to influence.

Written for anyone who has felt out of place in traditional leadership models, Lead Anyway shows that your difference isn't something to overcome, it's your advantage.
